    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is wonderful, full the to brim with things to do, replay-ability is through the roof, and a great test of skill. I wish the story was more rung out. I hate how most of the bosses are just re appearances, and that the story is able to be complete in 24 hours. However after the story there are still Kingdoms to find! and if you cant find any power moons, just go to the hat shop and buy 10, 100 coins each. Most things are complete hits, and very few things are complete misses, but they're there. Also, with the reward of not spoiling things for myself all those months, the best surprise was finding Yoshi on Peach's Castle, just like in 64.… Expand

    Ok, en realidad el inicio puede llegar a sentirse lento pero no por ello aburrido, para los que hablan de dificultad, a excepcion de "Lost levels" y algunos niveles (la carrera perfecta o el camino del campeon por ejemplo), los videojuegos de Mario nunca han sido especialmente dificiles, lo que se aprecia es el valor de rejugabilidad que estos tienen, apartado en el que Oddyssey resalta de una manera titanica, tal vez las lunas sean mas faciles de conseguir que las estrellas o soles de los niveles previos pero estamos concientes de que no son 10 o 20, son probablemente mas de 50 o 60, podemos comprobarlo cuando partimos de un nivel con 30 lunas y tenemos el conocimiento y la sensacion de que no hemos terminado con este.
    El gameplay, es unico, nunca habiamos tenido uno tan variado y es de reconocer el trabajo que conlleva crear una forma de jugar para los diferentes enemigos que es posible capturar.
    Los graficos, son muy buenos y no estan para nada pixeleados como dice la mayoria, el rendimiento es bastante bueno, aunado a los tiempos de carga de menos de 5 segundos.
    El hype creado no esta infundado, no sabria decir si es mejor que Galaxy 1, 2 o Mario 64 pero si podemos aclarar que es un videojuego digno de un 10.    … Expand

    So far, this is definitely my favorite Mario game of this last decade. It keeps most of the mechanics from classic Mario games but improved in almost every way. The wide variety of movements not just remember the Mario 64 times but brings back the feeling of challenge to clear the levels missing in some of the latest entries.

Of course now it's even more pretty! the visuals are simply attractive and beautiful. For sure the best looking visual mario game you'll find on the market.

    However the mario gameplay style in this game is quite unique and genius at the same time by using your cap you can use the action "capture" to for example be in control of a goomba or even a cheep cheep, I mean wow... I've always wanted to be one of those, also who would've imagined that you could even be in control of the humans it's very interesting and very exciting on what this capture action can do and gives us nintendo switch players a brand new way to play and explore new things.

    Mario is trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser as Bowser is trying to marry her the plot is actually a little different although it's still the same "save peach scenario" which still works as you have to fight through multiple boss battles although I feel as if it's quite easy to beat them but overall I find the game so easy to just explore and have fun it's the most exciting game in years. This is a true 3D mario game that's for sure, I recommend picking it up as you'll have hours of fun with this and explore and find all those power moons, if you don't have a nintendo switch right now this is the perfect excuse to get one.    … Expand

    There's only one thing to say about odyssey it amazes me like Super Mario 64 amazed me 1996. It is redefining the genre, an absolute instant classic. The graphics are almost to good for that tiny switch, constant 60 Frames and perfect control over mario, playing with a controller was never so satisfying.

    Some have complained about the graphics being low res however even when playing docked on a 4k TV I struggled to be over critical of the graphics especially when I'm hyper focused on gameplay the story is compelling and if you are a completionist this is the next game for you as there are so many extra hidden power moons in each level than the ones needed to move on to the next world.

    This game also gave me major nostalgia back to super Mario 64 from my childhood as soon as I put the cartridge in it felt instantly familiar. So if you loved that game or any of the other super mario 3d exploration games like sunshine or galaxy then defiantly give this a whirl you won't regret it and you'll find yourself like me wondering where the last 8 hours went!

    To sum up this really is a killer app for s switch and hopefully helps establish switch to stay around for a while and shift some more systems this Christmas. also hopefully it attracts some attention from 3rd party dens to make some more epic game for this awesome little console.    … Expand

    As I've stated before, I love most of the kingdoms like the Metro Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom was a very pleasant and better than expected kingdom too. I also like the art style, being the typical Mario art style (so not ultra realistic 4k), it doesn't necessarily feel 'kiddy' like Mario is stereotyped to be, I've never really believed Mario is a childish game, however, others do... especially those ignorant cool kids all over the place. Anyway, I got a off track, as I was saying I like the unique little challenges given to us, they're fun and simple. The boss battle for the majority of the game are a little on the easy side, however, gives Cappy a lot of use. I'll also like to mention the new companionship between Mario and Cappy being absolutely great and giving us more creative and fun puzzles and ways to play.

    The reason why I didn't give it a 10/10 is because I believe it's a bit short and a few kingdoms I was slightly disappointed with, especially the Cascade Kingdom. Reasons being I expected it to be a large challenging kingdom nearer to the end. However, I was left disappointed to see Nintendo didn't do more with it when they could've done countless things to make it better.

    Overall, a great game, worth the money I spent, fun and creative. GG Nintendo, you've defeated me and my money again. Definitely a competitor for Game of the Year 2017 behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A breath of fresh air from Nintendo, they have to win GOTY.    … Expand

    At first when Nintendo showed Mario Odyssey I was worried because of the "look". It had a more realistic and less bright and artsy vibe. At first I assumed it was because using the UE4 engine and trying to give it that "new" feel. But I was very wrong and the game has so much going on and the art-style may be the best part of the game for me personally. As of just finishing the main plot..At first when Nintendo showed Mario Odyssey I was worried because of the "look". It had a more realistic and less bright and artsy vibe.

But I was very wrong and the game has so much going on and the art-style may be the best part of the game for me personally. As of just finishing the main plot.. Its time to give my take. And it is filled with almost zero complaints. Nintendo is always trying something fresh but not make things awkward and Cappy is a genious addition which allows so much freedom and abilities I never thought I would want in a Mario adventure... But now I cant live without!!

    Visuals: Amazing to say the least.. The way Nintendo is doing this FPS optimization with games like Odyssey and Splatoon 2 is something I really enjoy. Keeping a 60FPS on the action in game is very nice and adds to the overall look and feel. The worlds are stunning.. some take a more realistic vibe with real world creatures/humans.. while others are filled with gorgeous ice caverns, temples, candy worlds.. and so much more. Costumes are a blast to grab and while they are mostly cosmetic, some open events and secrets. Simply put the game is what anyone should expect from Mario and the minds over at Nintendo.

    Gameplay: 60 FPS achieved with Nintendo's fluctuating progressive meter.. using this method as stated above makes not only a more smooth gameplay experience but adds to the visuals as everything is fluid. Mario moves with all the classic abilities and even adds some new combos off classics such as the butt pound. All Kingdoms offer new gameplay mechanics with the use of Cappy and some are genious. Controls are really spot on and mario feels really well when controlling using either the joy-cons attached or unattached gives you extra motion control options. I chose to use the pro controller and turn off motion controls in the options. I still had to use motion shaking for climbing poles and such.

    Sound: Sound is very well done. Everything you would come to expect from a major Nintendo release. The main Odyssey song even has the lyrics printed on the inside cover of the game case. There are many throwback and classic tunes about the kingdoms... Enjoy and check every area.

    Overall 10/10 Mario Odyssey is a game that will take around 15 hours to check out most Kingdoms but the levels have so much to collect that you cant possibly see everything as beating the final boss will unlock each Kingdom and another anywhere from 10-50 or more moons are available to collect all with new characters and puzzles.

    I am not a "critic." I am a gamer. I have played every major Mario game since the original Mario Bros. 1983 arcade game (the NES version, anyway), and then from then on the Goomba squashing Mario we came to know and love as the first ever mascot of gaming (after Pac-Man, of course - though I wasn't around then).

    After playing the Galaxies, I did not think Nintendo could ever make me love Mario again. Between Sunshine and Galaxy 1 and 2, the traditional Mario (Mario Bros. Wii) fell by the wayside for me... Sure, it was fun, but it just didn't have the creativity of the other three games. And then the Wii U happened... and everyone hoped for a Galaxy 3..... and we got a Mario Bros. Wii reiteration, and then a "3D" gimmick of that same formula. These were fun, sure, but they were a sort of mundane fun... something you did not really feel like playing again after winning.

    (I personally think the Wii U was Nintendo's grace period to figure out what they needed to do, with EVERY franchise, including Mario, because they were screwing up. And boy am I glad they figured it out.)

    Mario Odyssey is the game that could not be a Wii U game. This much is clear. The fluidity of animation without frame drops, the wonderful controls, the seamless flow of throwing Cappy and using him and jumping on him, the wonderful return to actually great music... Look, the truth is, as you play this game, you will find not just remnants of Mario in it, but also remnants of Banjo-Kazooie's little side quests.

    I don't want to spoil anything, but I will end on an honest note: if you hated the specificity of controls for that not-so-great Zelda game, Skyward Sword, you will not like the controls here. However, if you give them a chance, you will notice they are much more responsive (the Joy-Cons have much better technology in them than the MotionPlus Remote did).

    If you loved Mario Sunshine, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Banjo-Kazooie, and even Mario 3D World, you will truly enjoy this game and rage a little here and there at some of the more difficult places. As for the difficulty of the game, it isn't difficult as a whole. A few people are upset that this game doesn't use a "Life" system; it uses coins. Many of them thought this stupid, but the truth is, you NEED those coins for some of the funner factors of the game (no spoilers), so it does not pay (ha! pun) to lose them by continuously dying - I have no idea why anyone who actually played the game and understood the coin system thought that it was stupid, but that's that.

    All in all, I have to give this game a 10/10, because the only shortcoming is that it isn't longer - and yet, no game can last forever; not all games can be Breath of the Wild. For Mario, especially, this is a good thing. The pacing of the game is enough to keep you in wonder, and that's what all great Mario games have done since he landed in 3D space.    … Expand

The motion controls are very wonky at points. For example, sometimes when you try to do a spin throw, you throw your cap up or down, or vice versa. The camera is slightly annoying at points. As far content though, it's very good.

And the bosses fights are dynamic and a little challenging depending the boss you fight but the most impressive part of these fights is the mechanics to defeat the enemy. And the story is pretty good for a mario, it kinda breaks the prototype that nintendo created years ago, and the lore seems huge. If we talk about graphics i could say this is the best looking game on switch, it has so much details and beautiful landscapes.

    My final recomendation is “play it”.    … Expand

The controls are mostly fluid, with exception of the motion controls, I turned them off and play in tablet mode yet I still have to waggle and shake now and again which is just pointless and annoying.

The soundtrack is also amazing. The only thing I did not like was the gliding sections in the Lost Kingdom and the confusing and boring at times Luncheon Kingdom. With that said those kingdoms are still amazing. This game also innovated the death system, usually when you die you would have 1UPS and when you lost all of them you went to the last world. This system was pretty frustrating so Nintendo updated it by taking 10 coins away from you. In this game coins matter because with them you can buy extremely fashionable clothes, more hearts, and even a power moon! I do feel the bosses were kind of easy but the final boss is really hard. In the post game there is even some fan service I don't want to spoil. This game is a must have for any game ever.… Expand

Super Mario Odyssey es genial , es un buen viaje a la infancia con enemigos , personajes de captura , música , y niveles que no se veían desde super Mario bros de NES y el paso a los 8bits dentro del mismo juego fue divertido y llamativo .Es un juego que no te obliga a hacer todo en orden , te da tu tiempo para que explores muchas zonas , conozcas otros personajes o simplemente solo te dediques a coleccionar prendas de vestir y gorras , es un juego muy completo dentro de su mundo y la narrativa que esta tiene sobre la historia , es totalmente algo nuevo y para nada un juego totalmente fácil ya que tiene sus retos y su desafios que puedes completar con pensarla una segunda vez ya que es un juego pensado para niños y adultos y como todo adulto lo jugue en su modo normal , ya que poseé un modo ayuda que esta hecho practicamente para ayudar a los mas pequeños y que no pierdan horas y minutos sin saber que hacer, graficamente es muy atractivo y me sorprendió bastante en este aspecto ya que en la tv y en el modo tableta se ve increíble , ademas que la musica y la banda sonora y más aún en el final del juego te hace sentir que estas en una de esas películas o series de anime donde el final la música y la escena que aquí es jugable , se roban el show .
    Lo único malo es que esperaba un juego más largo ya que con 15 0 20 horas a tope jugando lo completas , al menos su historia por que el juego tiene bastantes cosas que descubrir sobre todo luego que pasas el final ya que te permite ir a otro lugar y el modo 2 jugadores es un complemento divertido de hacer aún que le faltó más protagonismo al 2do jugador.

    Odyssey is full of charming references to the past, and just as full of bizarre new surprises.

    The creativity in the gameplay is out of this world. And I don't think another developer will get to the feet of Nintendo in this matter, because the company knows how to make good games and knows that the real focus should be the gameplay.

    Super Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do. And I'm not going to beat around the bush; Super Mario Odyssey was amazing. While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is shortSuper Mario Odyssey is likely meant to be Mario's version of Breath of the Wild, with it being a big game with lots to do.

While I'm giving it a ten out of ten, I'm not going to say it's perfect; as my only gripe with the game is that the plot is way too short and kinda easy to tackle. But while the plot is short and simple, that is merely the door to the game itself, which is collecting a grand total of 600 Power Moons. I feel like the game's story was downplayed for a reason; to emphasis on the exploration aspect and Moon collecting. And while I still have many Power Moons to collect, I don't need to one hundred percent this game to say that it was fantastic all the way.

    The capture mechanic the game takes on opens up a ton of new options for Mario to progress through worlds. From smashing blocks as a Hammer Bro to swimming through magma as a Lava Bubble to collecting a tower of Goombas to meet a female Goomba, Mario has more options than ever. It's a really cool feature, even if it does feel a bit overpowered at times.

    The worlds are plentiful, rivaling that of Super Mario 64 and easily suppressing the game in terms of collectables for each world. While it feels like the game simply hands you Power Moons for the simplest of tasks, you have to get used to the patterns of where they appear. That means ground pounding almost everything, throwing you cap at anything and breaking anything. Moons can literally be anywhere and that's where the challenge aspect comes in; some Moons won't be easy to find. While it may just feel like an enormous version of Super Mario Galaxy 2's Green Star challenge, if you love exploring worlds and discovering these kinds of secrets, it'll keep you busy for a long time and if you enjoy it, there's no problems in it, is there?

    Looking past the game's short story, Super Mario Odyssey really lives up to the hype it had. While it may not truly feel like the nostalgic Super Mario 64, it still does a good job at following in it's footsteps. The worlds are fun to explore, the capture mechanic makes it even more fun to explore and the amount of Power Moons means this isn't a game you'll one hundred percent in a day. But if you like a game that big, then this is definitely going to be a fun experience. Mario hit the Switch in a big way and this will likely go down as one of his best adventures yet.    … Expand

    It´s Incredible! I can't imagine how this game can give to many hours of gameplay and fun. Mario games has more than 20 year of history, but every game that Nintendo make about this franchise is amazing.

    This is a pretty good game. I can understand some peoples disappointment of it feeling "lacking" in content or its not "challenging" or thinking it will b just like Mario 64.

What I want to know is why did yall believe it was going to b "like" Mario 64? Sure it was returning to the classic semi-open world (yes semi because its not a full open world game) of 64 and Sunshine but everything else is different. They got rid of the objective based mission structure of 64 and Sunshine (64- Levels Sunshine-Episodes) for a more pure exploration based structure. Now I enjoy the game for what its trying to accomplish instead of expecting what its going to b based on past history, because if u do, of course your going to b disappointed. The fun and challenge in this game is in the exploration of finding all the Power Moons, that was kind of similar to what 64 and Sunshine did but theirs was more "linear" about it. Now I can understand this type of almost non-objective exploration, collect-a-thon gameplay isn't for everyone and feel like a waste of time but that's what the game is trying to accomplish and it does it pretty well. (also feels less like a chore imo than the classic ol' collect-a-thon platformers of old) I say take your time in each kingdom and explore, if u rush through it only meeting the minimum requirement of moons to get to the next kingdom then of course its going to b short, slow down people and enjoy the journey, not the destination.… Expand

    I wasn't expecting Nintendo to make another ground-breaking game in the same year of Breath of the WIld but they did it,

    Super Mario Odyssey is like a mash up of all of the previous games mashed together but with completely new mechanics and worlds. The game boasts beautiful scenery and colors in the levels, along with great music and innovative gameplay. Playing through the game doesn't feel repetitive unless you try to collect all 800+ moons with travelling through each kingdom and even though the game may remind you of previous games like Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy the addition of the Capture feature with your trusty sidekick Cappy adds a whole new dimension to the Mario franchise. So you will never not be surprised and you will find yourself returning to kingdoms to look for easter eggs and hidden secrets for you to discover.

    I would definitely recommend anyone looking into buying a Switch to purchase one. Nintendo have had a great start to the year with BotW, Splatoon 2, ARMS and now Super Mario Odyssey and the future is bright for them.

    Super Mario Odyssey is by far a contender to Breath of the Wild and those two games are my all time favorite games that I've played this year, All in all, it's fantastic.    … Expand

    El mejor Mario que he jugado nunca. Los controles van finísimos (como en todos los Marios), la mecánica de Cappy es muy divertida y da muchísimas posibilidades, y el juego está tan lleno de pequeños detalles que enamora ver cuánto cariño le han puesto en el desarrollo.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a nice take on the next entry in the Mario series with new worlds to explore, and brand new Cappy controls to help you.

The music is a bit of a mix, as you can find some classic jazzy Mario like in 3D World, or a bit of atmospheric music like in Galaxy. This game has nothing short of a wonderful OST. My only complaints would be that the worlds are so big sometimes, that it can feel empty, or get cluttered with a bunch of things in one area. Also, despite being a Mario game, there's an active lack of platforming in some kingdoms, in exchange for Cappy's capture gimmick. And Moon collecting can get a little repetitive with repeat missions. These are the things that I would say hold the game back from being at it's best, but no game goes without it's flaws. Super Mario Odyssey is a breath of fresh air in the long running series, and whether you're a fan of Mario, or need a fix for games, this is something no Switch owner would want to miss.… Expand

    O jogo está maravilhoso, principalmente pelos efeitos visuais, até mesmo no próprio Mario e nos mundos. A quantidade de luas é muito grande, sem contar que a jogabilidade é muito boa. A Nintendo capricha e sempre caprichou em jogos e Super Mario Odyssey é um deles.

This game provides endless opportunities to find secrets and is packed with elements that are a love letter to the series. Mario has been a part of practically my entire life, and the last few games were good, but beginning to become stale. This game breathes new life into the series. The addition of Cappy brings humor and charm that pushes the game forward. And the numerous costumes (and other elements) provide a restrospective of one of the most revered franchises of popular culture. Mario, "You could say my hat is off to you." Thank you.… Expand

    Just the game we all waited for. Nintendo did it again, I can't stop playing it. I hope for the switch that Nintendo will do theses kinds of games every 2 years. Can't wait for another classic from them, anyway this new mario is just a piece of art.

The soundtrack in my opinion is the best of any game this year and, when paired with the level designs, create some seriously unique and memorable atmospheres. However I have to say, if you are looking for a challenge you may want to look elsewhere as it's mostly a breeze to play with only the odd few tricky challenges which can be avoided at no cost. It really feels like a game designed with fun in mind above all else, and personally I feel it delivers with great satisfaction.… Expand

    I've been playing Super Mario games since I got the Mario/Duckhunt NES combo in 1987. SMO hit the nail on the head for what I expect a Mario title to be. This is the best Mario game since Mario 64. Galaxy was a great series too, but this game surpasses both of those games. Way to go Nintendo.

    While it was difficult to imagine how Nintendo could top previous 3D Mario adventures, Super Mario Odyssey is nigh-on perfect in almost every way. With the help of Cappy, Mario has never been as fun to control, reaching new heights and, in the hands of a skilled player, accomplishing impossible skips. You need only pick up a controller to see why this is the best modern Mario game ever.

    The best entry to the best platforming series is so ridiculously huge it’s like a theme park made of theme parks. It’s a wonderful tribute to Super Mario 64, but it’s not a lazy homage. Super Mario Odyssey draws inspiration from the superb classic to top it and everything that came after it. [13/2017, p.38]

    Perhaps no past Mario game has ever elicited so many smiles as this, and even if every other winning aspect of its design were set aside, that reality alone would make it a masterpiece. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 39E]
